Top Pcmac Reviews

I'm actually using this as a tool!

By 10bii Lover (Pcmac user)

I'm enjoying the stew out of this app. I've been wanting to use some of my small programs on the iPhone for some time, without going into full-fledged app development. This does the trick! As a child of the 70s, I'm very familiar with this style of BASIC. I wrote tons of stuff (I wish I still had) on a TRS-80 COCO. Rewriting my small projects for this app is a piece of cake. I can now take my small programs with me. That, and it's a fun trip down memory lane. I'm enjoying the opportunity to use the evil GOTO again, after an almost 30 year hiatus. Writing in an unstructured environment like this feels strangely liberating! Thank you for making this app available.
The C64 REBORN...in YOUR pocket!

By GeeMoe_6219 (Pcmac user)

This app is PERFECT for an "über-geek" just like ME, who wants "something to hack around with", JUST LIKE OLD TIMES, when not only the C64 was popular (and STILL is!), but also numerous brands of the old calculator-sized programmable pocket computers, as well. Well done...KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!! ;-)
Very nice, but needs some updates

By DarkRadon (Pcmac user)

Needs to be updated for the larger iPhone screens, but is a very nice app. I actually use this on an almost daily basis simply because of the simple but effective programming environment. Please update this app to the newer and larger displays, along with incorporating a fourth row for the operators, parentheses, slashes, question marks, etc., and this becomes a five star app.
Brings back old memories

By Algae rocks (Pcmac user)

This app is the closest thing to owning the Commodore 64 that I’ve seen. My first computer was a Commodore 64 and I loved programming it! Thank you for dev this app
